Career Counsellors can help you to identify your skills, interests and values, set goals and explore opportunities.
A JCU Career Counsellor can help you make informed career-related decisions and develop strategies to achieve your goals. Appointments are free and confidential.
If you're struggling with a decision about whether to leave or change your course, you may wish to discuss it with a Career Counsellor.
To gain the most benefit from your appointment, we recommend you undertake the following preparation and exploration.
Research and Self-Assessment
- Work through the Self-Understanding modules in the University Preparation stream of the JCU Career Development Program
- Check out myfuture. This interactive website helps you to identify your strengths and preferences and the types of jobs that may interest you.
- Do some research on the occupations and industries that interest you..
